WhatsApp To Add Free Voice Calling

HI friends, today I have come up with an update "WhatsApp To Add Free Voice Call Facility", yes you read it right. With this update we are also adding a new label of Whatsapp on IFTISEO where we will share new tips and tricks related to it.



Well we all use WhatsApp even more than Facebook or any other social networking app. The total revenue of WhatsApp for the year 2013 exceeded 200$ Billion. 

Since Facebook bought WhatsApp there have been some significant changes, they added some extra privacy filters likes hiding last seen, profile picture and status. There was a server failure too on 23rd that lasted for around 210 minutes. So its been quite lively out there in their headquarters. After all its Facebook who have the complete control over it.

Well the next update they will be coming up will be really helpful for its users. WhatsApp will be coming out with Free voice calling facilitylater this year with some reports suggesting the change to occur in the month of April this year. 

At the Mobile World Congress Fair held in Barcelona on Monday 24th Feb 2014 the CEO of WhatsApp, Jan Koum also said that " We are driven by the mission that people should be able to stay in touch anywhere and affordably" .

"I actually think that by itself it's worth more than 19 billion," Zuckerberg also added "Even just independently, I think it's a good bet."

So WhatsApp will be adding this facility to their 450 Million Users FREE OF COST later this year. This update will not be supported by many telecom operators as it will cause a breakdown in thier revenues.

Viber, LINE, WeChat and some other app already offers this facility. So it will be a challenge for those apps as well. For now, we can just wait for the update.  :) 



How To Check Google Keyword Ranking Of Any Post

Hi friends, Well these days I�m really having some big problems but I still managed to get some blogging time. I�ve seen many people posting their posts ranks on google by just taking a snap of the search they performed on Google, but those rankings are not always same for others.

How To Check Google Keyword Ranking Of Any Post


If you are logged into google and perform a search for your post then it is most likely to show better ranking than in reality.


So in this post I will be sharing a method to find your post ranking on google on any keyword. Besides this you can also check your competitors ranking alongside yours.

All you have to do is just go to Moonsy Keyword Rank Checker. Enter your domain name and keyword you want to check the rank for. Click the Check Keyword Rank button and bingo that�s your rank. The rank shown by Moonsy is the real one and you can proudly share the snap of the results. J



There are many other tools provided by Moonsy, have a try at all of them. I personally prefer this site for checking my post ranks on different keywords. Its really fast and you can get an idea of your competitor too. :) 

Note : You can also add your competitor domain to check his rank for the keyword along with your rank.

Note: Moonsy searches Top 100 results only, so if your rank isn�t shown on any particular keyword it means your rank is very low and you should consider focusing on any other keyword. 

More Traffic Tricks


Ther are many sites providing this service freely as well as on payment basis. I found this one easy and simple specially for newbies. You can however go for other sites for checking your ranks. 
I hope you all liked the tip/tutorial to check your posts rank. Share this post with other bloggers too.

So how was it ? 

One thing is clear that no matter how simple and easy it looks, but its really complicated at the back end. Its not straight and simple as a page has to pass different tests before showing up in results.

If you want to share this Infographic on your blog or site then go to QuickSprout for the code.  

10 Tips for Guest Posters: What Content Will Be 100% Accepted?

Tips for Guest Posters: What Content Will Be 100% Accepted?




Here are a few tips that are going to dramatically increase your chances of getting your content accepted by a blog master. These are tips for the average article writer who wants to get his or her article accepted by a blog master. Here are a bunch of tips including a few do�s and don�ts.

Do not submit a post before you have made the request

This is dumb for a number of reasons, with the first one being that the blog master has no incentive �not� to steal your content and post it anyway. They have no connection to you, so why not steal your content? It is also more likely to be rejected because there are few blog masters that are willing to go through hundreds of articles each week that they get via email.


Lay out the article like the other article on the blog

The blog master is going to have a blog filled with articles and posts that share a common type or formatting. If you are smart then you will copy the formatting, style and anything else that is unique about the blog. It will make the blog master more willing and amenable to posting your blog post. People like things they know.


Come up with little known facts that you can blow up a little

For example, the UK government refused to let Martha Stewart into the country because she was convicted of obstruction of justice, which is a law the British take quite seriously. It is common knowledge, but because it was dwarfed by her trial and her conviction it was not really acknowledged. So, imagine if you came up with a headline that stated this fact such as, �Martha Stuart has to cancel UK talk�. Or, you could go even more inflammatory with, �UK government bans Martha Stewart from entering the country.� How could any web master deny posting that little beauty of a blog post?


Do not cover a topic that is already on the blog

This is just silly and it invites rejection. This is true even if you have taken it from a new angle. You have to assume your blog master is too dumb to realize how you have redefined the issue.


Proofread the stuff you have written

If the blog master sees mistakes then he or she may assume that the piece is going to lower the SEO (Search Engine Optimization) value of the website and so will reject it. Instead of arguing over a few mistakes, just make sure yours are clear of them.


Stop nagging and bullying the blog master

It does work but it does not exactly create a very good working relationship, so give nagging a rest. If the blog master is unreliable then move on and find another.


Do not resubmit your crap a few months down the line

This is a common trick that really annoys some blog masters, plus some of them assume you have copied it and forget that you were the one that proposed it a few months ago.



Stop submitting content that you don�t want yourself

Offloading your old and useless content onto an unsuspecting blog master is not a terrible idea, but they are unlikely to appreciate it and you do invite rejection when you do it. If you do have crappy content then bundle it up and sell it to third world companies, or put it on social media as another post pointing at your website.




Do not spin content and try to send it

If you spin content then you are a chump. If the blog master accepts the content then he or she is chump of the year. If you cannot recognize spun content by now then you are a really poor remember of the online community. If the blog master cannot recognize spun content then it may not be worth writing for their blog because they are surly going to lose search engine rankings if they are posting poor will content such as that.


Do your research before you send

If you are proposing a certain type of article or topic, then make sure your research on it is done already. Plus, if you can add in a few bullet point facts about the topic you are going to write about then it may stimulate the blog master�s interest a little. Do your research first too just in case there is very little to write about on the topic when you do it.

Complete Guide To Make Money With Event Based Niche Blogs

Hello Friends, First of all Belated Happy Valentines Day. Today in this post I will be revealing a secret behind making some large chunks of money with Event Based Blogs. 

You might have heard about Niche blogs, but nowadays a new trend of Event Based Niche Blogs has started. This technique is being used by many clever bloggers, I feel that now its time for you to have success with it. 

Complete Guide To Make Money With Event Based Niche Blogs


What is an Event Based Blog ?

Its quite simple, Event based blogs are the blogs focusing on any upcoming event (Like New year, Valentines day etc) which is specially celebrated all over the world. Its Simple, Create and rank a blog following all the steps and receive tons and tons of organic visits to your blog during the event. 

For example : One of my friend Imran Uddin (Founder of AllTechBuzz) created an Event based blog for "NEW YEAR 2014". There can be many examples seen all over the place. 

I think you all are now well aware of such type of blogs. My friend, who I mentioned about earlier made over 2000$ (yes you've read it right ) in just a week with his blog he created. 


How To Get It Running ?

Now let me tell you the procedure of how to get started with one such blog. Its not very easy as it sounds but once you apply all steps properly then you'll surely get success with it. 


1. Get a domain name related to the event - Make sure you purchase a domain name related to event you are blogging about. 

For example: If you are making a blog on Valentines day itself then your Top Level Domain (TLD) must be like,

"Valetinesday2014.com" or "HappyValentinesDay2014.com" etc etc  
There can be many such names chosen. What actually the benefit of this is that your site will be ranked First whenever someone searches for these keywords specially the exact keywords which are common to your domain name. So this is one part done into making a successful event based site. 




2. Post Title and Content- This is one the most important step that should be carefully followed. If you feel that just having the exact match domain name will take you top, then you're completely wrong. You still have to consider about the content as well as the Title 

Here are Some tips regarding your post
  • Your post title should be selected keeping in mind of what people will search. 
  • Try to invovle the year in your post title ( REALLY HELPFUL )
  • Don't dissapoint readers by posting low quality content. 
  • Make sure to do Internal Linking within your posts.   


Let me give you some examples of how the post and the title should look like. Try to make title as such people will search.  

Example 1: Happy New Year Wallpapers 2014
Example 2: Valentines Day 2014 Sms
Example 3: Free HD New Year 2014 Wallpapers 

I hope you understood this, now lets talk about the content. Creating content for such blogs is not at all a Difficult task. It's quite easy, Like in most of some posts you will be needing many pictures ( Wallpapers, designs, Gift Cards, Gif Images etc). So its really easy to collect such images from different search engines or you can create it yourself. I will soon post about how to use pictures from different sites with full rights. But for that you have to wait, so better google it for now. 

One more important thing, try to take your post count to around 20-40. It will take very less time in creating posts and if you create atleast 2 posts a day then you will reach the mark in just 15 days. 



3. Link Building: Now comes the part of link building, apply various techniques of building backlinks back to your blog. Share content on Social Sites and Directory submission sites as well.

4. SEO: Make sure to do both OFF-Page as well as ON-Page SEO of your site. If you don't know about it you can hire an expert for the work. We can also provide you SEO EXPERTS for this work. 



5. Monetization: The final part of your event based blog is to Monetize your site by Google Adsense (or any other of your choice). Try to follow all the rules of AdSense as no one would like to see a ban on it. If you don't have AdSense and if you're struggling to get one for yourself. Check our AdSense section or Contact us via our contact page.

Extra Tips to Ensure 100% Success


  • Use Blogger Platform rather than Wordpress as Blogger platform will help you rank your posts well on top and in no time. 

  • Start the work atleast 1 month before the Event.

    • Try to run this in partnership with your friend. 

      • Make sure to Index every post using Google webmasters as well as other webmaster tools.

        • Work with Dedication and don't take it lightly as this topic is quite trending around the blogosphere.
        • Atlast Sleep well on the Event night and have a good morning with $$$$ on your Adsense account as well as other affiliate account if you've set any.


          We are deciding to make an event based blog in partnership with any of IFTISEO readers ( yes you). So if you are really interested, do contact us. 


          I hope I have explained you well about the topic. Please share this with your friends and other bloggers. We always appreciate your valuable comments. Happy blogging and Valentines Day.

          Best Free Tools To Compress And Optimize Images On Your Blog

          Best Free Tools To Compress And Optimize Images On Your Blog

          Compressing and optimizing images on your blog is a good idea because a blog has the potential to be very heavy if it is not correctly managed. A heavy set of pages means that loading times are reduced and means that the SEO value of the pages are going to drop. Compressing and optimizing images is just one way of lowering page weight and so here are a few you may wish to try.


          Best Free Tools To Compress And Optimize Images On Your Blog

          GIFWorks! Free Online GIF eTools


          GIF images are more often used as part of a GIF animation, but some people prefer to use them as single images on a website because they have a very small weight to them. With this tool you may resize your GIF images as you wish. The GIF image does not tend to be of a particularly high quality, so reducing or increasing its size is going to affect the quality.

          This is especially true if you resize the image more than one time. In other words you are going to have to pick the size you want and change it to that in one go. The loss of focus or clarity is less with this tool than it is with others of a similar nature because this tool is optimized specifically for the GIF image.

          You are also able to create small animations if you wish, or special effects and you may build and improve upon the images that you intend to compress into an animation.


          Image Optimizer


          Best Free Tools To Compress And Optimize Images On Your BlogThis is a tool that allows you to adjust your images to your liking. It has a function that allows restoration so that if you mess up on one then you can restore it and try again. Obviously this may be done on the others if you were to simply reload the image.

          It is free to use and you are able to compress quite a few images at one time. This makes the tool a little more convenient and a little easier to use. There is a one click function you can use and the system on the whole is very easy to use and play with.


          iResize.com


          With this tool you may optimize your images very quickly. It is built in order to be a very fast tool. It is based on a website so you will need to use your web browser to gain access. It is free to use as are all of the tools on this list, and it will also resize your images for you.

          You can try multiple times to get it right, but it is better for the image if you have a few trial runs and then start again with the image and adjust it in one go. It does allow you to try out different sizes to see if one fits or suits a little better than another size.


          Smush.it


          With this tool you are able to resize your images so that they will fit onto your blog and so that you may make them more compatible with smaller screens and different browsers. It will also compress your image files so that they load a little quicker. It is also able to remove file fragments which serve no real purpose but still add a little to the weight of your images.

          It is a quick compression and optimization tool, which means you can work very quickly if you need to be. The developers have also made it so that the tool loses as little as possible in the process. They try to save as much of the quality of your image as possible when compressing and optimizing.

          It is also handy because it shows you how many bytes you have saved by using the tool. This adds a certain feeling of satisfaction in its use. You may compress the files into zip files if you wish, and the tool tries to lose as little of the quality as possible. The fact that it is a free tool is also very good because one does not usually expect such attention to detail from a free tool.


          myImager.com


          This is an optimizing tool that may also be used as an editing tool. It is used on the web browser. You upload your image and then edit it with the tools and filters available. The service is free but you are only able to load images of 500KB, though most consider that enough for their needs. It certainly is enough for a blog image as you should not be loading very large images on there anyway.

          2014 SEO Trends - How To Adapt To The Changes

          2014 SEO Trends - How To Adapt To The Changes

          The year 2014 is going to hold its fair share of updates and surprises if the previous years are anything to go by. We have just had the big update called Hummingbird which is supposed to be the biggest change since 2010, and yet some people are claiming they see no difference. You can adapt to the changes by thinking the way that Google does. Here are a few tips to help you guard against and pre-adapt to 2014 changes.

          2014 SEO Trends - How To Adapt To The Changes

          Write page content for the user

          Google wants people to write for the user because they want their search engine results to be as user friendly as possible. They want web masters to write content that puts the user first because it is far more use to Google if the user is happy with the results.

          The user does not want awkward sentence structure in order to insert keywords. The user simply wants a sentence structure and syntax that flows easily and makes sense. No matter what the trend is--Google will always bring their updates around so that the user comes first, so it is better for you if that is always your starting point.


          Sticking to one form of SEO is no help

          The fact is that it is easier if you can concentrate all of your efforts into one type of SEO (Search Engine Optimization). It is easier if you can build a massive and regenerative backlink campaign, or if you can build a social media empire, but that is not what Google wants. They claim they have over 200 ranking factors, which is always going to mean that a broader SEO profile is always going to win out.

          2014 SEO Trends - How To Adapt To The ChangesIt also suggests that even if you do have something such as a very robust and broad backlink profile that it will only take you so far. You will have to concentrate on other SEO elements in order to stay at the top of the search engine results pages.


          Have your anchor text explain what the linked page is about


          This is actually what anchor text is supposed to do, so it is hardly surprising that the search engines have picked up on it. A search engine is not a thinking device and it has no intelligence behind it. All it can do is pick up on clues to the meaning of your web pages and some of those clues come from anchor text.

          The anchor text of both your internal links and your backlink anchor text should be at least mildly descriptive of the page it points to. That is why having a keyword in your anchor text that matches up with a keyword from the page is desirable. Un-descriptive anchor text such as �click here� does not really give many clues away as to the meaning of the web page it points to.


          A usable website is one that does well on the search engines

          All you have to do is make sure your website has a use and that it is highly usable. If that is the case then it is highly unlikely that any Google update is going to affect you negatively.


          Insert backlinks into websites were you may also get direct traffic

          Google are interested in you having backlinks where your target audience may congregate, so as a rule of thumb you should put backlink where people are the most likely to click on them (where you may get direct traffic).


          Search engine trends are not your friends

          They appear from time to time, where you are told that comment section links are great, or guest posting is the newest form of content marketing. Take note of trends but do not follow them too closely because they are often overturned with the next Google update.


          A broad backlink profile is best

          Getting backlinks from a variety of useful places is the best. This does not mean you should get them from any old place, it just means getting them from as many different relevant places as possible.


          Dedicate some time each week to website maintenance

          This means updating your website in a useful manner. It means creating updates that keep your pages literally up to date. Old information is never search engine friendly.


          Do not create content for the sake of having fresh content

          This is an old trick that you should have gotten rid of a long time ago. Google does like fresh content but they keep setting up their updates to combat useless content that is there for the sake of new content.
